A BRIDE�S FATHER REFUSES TO PAY FOR HIS DAUGHTER�S WEDDING TO A MAN HE (AND EVERYONE BUT THE BRIDE) THINKS IS GAY ON �THE WEDDING BELLS� FRIDAY, MARCH 16, ON FOX

The Bell sisters face budget troubles with Bridget�s wedding to her effeminate, feather-boa-wearing fianc�, Ross. Bridget�s conservative father refuses to pay for the wedding because he, along with everybody else, believes that Ross is gay. As the wedding day approaches, Bridget�s friends conspire to stop the marriage that even The Wedding Palace minister disapproves of. With everything working against them, Bridget and Ross attempt to prove to their family and friends that their strong and unfettered love is genuine. Annie, usually so composed, begins to feel the pressures of running The Wedding Palace. When she confronts her sisters about letting their personal lives compromise the quality of their work, Jane mysteriously leaves the meeting in tears, leading Annie and Sammy to believe that there is something wrong with her marriage to Russell. Ernesto presents Jane with a risqu� solution to her romantic troubles. Meanwhile, David crosses the line when he becomes involved with an intoxicated, heartbroken bridesmaid; Sammy has her hands full fending off an usher who exposes more than just his feelings for her; and Debbie and Cedric argue about their past in the �Wedding from Hell� episode of THE WEDDING BELLS airing Friday, March 16 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
